Michael's Chemistry Tutoring Reviews

Michael's classes were really helpful, and he was very patient when explaining topics. I also appreciated how he would take notes during class, so students could focus on the lesson.

Over the past three months, Michael has helped me work through all my difficulties in AP Chemistry along with practicing several AP-style questions throughout our sessions together. His extensive background in chemistry helped provide quality weekly tutoring sessions which encompassed what I struggled with in terms of the concepts and then time for past AP exam questions. This immensely aided my confidence in chemistry by giving me everything I needed to be successful in AP Chemistry.

Michael is great! He helped my son improve his chemistry grades dramatically. My son also enjoyed his sessions with Michael. From a logistics perspective, Michael is easy to reach, forgiving of change is scheduling, all around a pleasure to work with.

Wonderful experience with them providing remote support for AP Chem student over the academic year. Michael was very responsive and well-organized. Julian was reliable, flexible, patient, and worked to address all topics of particular concern for our student. Very helpful to receive a link of the recording and notes from each session. Exceeded our expectations!

Michael is an excellent tutor. He guides me through challenging math concepts, and thanks to his help, my grades have seen significant improvement!

Michael is an amazing tutor especially if you’re looking for one on one tutoring. He is pretty flexible with meeting times that work with your schedule. He is also very good at explaining concepts and teaching new methods!

Michael is a great Organic Chemistry tutor! I started tutoring with him late into my first semester of Organic Chem, feeling behind in my class and worried about my exams.

He caught me up and taught the old and new material quickly and effectively, and my grades reflected that. I felt way more confident about going into my quizzes and exams. If you are overwhelmed with Organic Chemistry and need help figuring out where to start, I highly recommend him. He caters to how you learn and ensures you understand the material well.

I struggled a lot with chemistry, being on independent study in high school I didn't know anything (at least for me) Julian was so helpful and he helped me raise my grade from a F to a passing grade in chemistry. Not only did I not feel judged he incorged me.

Working with Michael throughout my time studying general chemistry and organic chemistry at UC Berkeley was incredible. At times, he was the only reason I was able to understand any of the concepts. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone! He is incredibly professional yet reachable and responsive outside of the scheduled tutoring times. It is well worth your time and money to be tutored by him!

I am pleased to write that Michael was a very informative and patient tutor. He mentored me through both high school chemistry and algebra classes. He did a good job of utilizing his own drawing boards to explain concepts within zoom, and he generally has a good way of explaining general concepts and going in depth as well.

Id also like to add, Michael is very flexible when it comes to timing, all it takes is a text letting him know when you’re available, and he’ll try his best to meet your time; otherwise he’ll give you multiple times he’s available to meet himself.

Overall, he is definitely very knowledgeable in high school and college course level material, and I would definitely recommend to reach out and schedule an appointment with him if you think you need extra help!

Tutoring with Michael has been the best investment! I have a confident understanding of the material and an A on my transcript.

Our time and experience with Michael and his team was nothing short of exceptional. Their responsiveness, resourcefulness, and clear explanations helped my daughter tackle the challenging course of AP Chem. Every session was a true learning interaction, and complex concepts were explained with great clarity. My daughter left each session with newfound knowledge and confidence. Wish we started with Michael earlier during the school year. Highly recommended!

Michael really helped me through chemistry over the summer when I failed it the semester before. He was patient and explained things well so that I could understand the material.

Michael has been a god send during his tutoring sessions with my daughter. Not only does she now find excitement in Chemistry and Math, but she now puts in the time and effort to expanding her knowledge on the subjects she finds difficulty in. I can definitely see a major improvement in her grades and a major improvement in her attitude towards her academics!

Our son was failing chemistry and losing confidence in his ability to ever catch on. We worried both about what this could mean for his future and, more importantly, how this would affect his mental health. My son's middle school resource teacher, who we deeply respect, connected us with Michael. My son describes him as "very patient and great about going step by step. He didn't rush me; he waited until I absorbed the information." From me, as the parent, I also appreciate how kind and caring Michael is. My son just wasn't a client, but a teen, a person with a life going through things. Michael was also as flexible as possible with scheduling, around key test and homework dates, for example. I understand that cost can be an issue - our son's time and experience with Michael was well worth it. We are very grateful.

Michael is undoubtedly the best tutor we have ever had. My kid had a very challenging Chemistry teacher at her high school and was struggling to keep up. We started seeing improvements in test scores and better grasp of the subject in just a few sessions. He is amazing at explaining concepts very clearly, and also provides harder extensions to problems and teaches you how to work your way through those problems.

I want to express my deep appreciation for Michael and Gretchen's exceptional dedication and hard work in tutoring my son. My son was struggling with chemistry and on the verge of failing in the second semester, so I contacted Michael for help. Despite his own busy schedule, he promptly connected me with Gretchen, his associate tutor, who proved to be an invaluable support.

Given my son's high-functioning autism, he faced challenges with organization and had a significant amount of missing work. However, Gretchen went above and beyond her role as a tutor. She not only provided comprehensive tutoring during their sessions but also offered encouragement and motivation to help my son complete his assignments and retake his tests. Thanks to Gretchen's diligent efforts and personalized approach, my son's performance improved remarkably.

I am also grateful to Michael for staying in touch via email to monitor my son's progress and provide additional support.

Overall, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Michael and Gretchen for their exceptional dedication and positive influence on my son's educational journey.
